I am shocked. SHOCKED. that you are honest enough to recognize this (yes, your precious Sentry is utterly derived from Superman in every important way, as is Plutonian).

anyway, this concept was established in PRE Crisis continuitty by Denny O'Neil. There, I ching(the entire New Superman storyline is derived from his run in the 1970s) teaches Superman that his power is stores in his chi aura.

I'll post the scans in sec.


in 2005, rick Veitch established via his Shamanic version of the Question that Superman radiates qi, and stores solar energy 'in the great battery of his soul":

Byrne's electro-chemical/electromagnetic 'aura' concept is Superman's kirilian aura, his 'soul'.


Back in the 1970's, primary Superman writer Maggin established in his in continuity Novels LAst Son of Krypton and Miracle that Superman radiates life energy, plants become more healthy is his presence. He established that Superman can "see' souls which Mark Waid brought back Post Crisis in Birthright via his ability to see kirilian auras. He also established in the Kingdom Come Novelization(Kingdom Come=potential future of the Post Crisis DCU, until the 'Kingdom' sequel specifically prevented that future and it become a tributary of Hypertime; Kingdom Come Superman IS the divergent future Posr Crisis Byrne Superman.) that Superman's magick weakness is due to his own mind not understanding the nature of magick.

I.E Superman doesn't have Ki

I am addressing the QUESTION/ki situation that YOU here talked about in this THREAD:




All you have to do is admit im right about superman not having ki, or address it. but don't, save you the embarassement again.

Well, in mythology and martial arts chi has been viewed as a natural and even supernatural energy, even to the point of being magic. Such titles as chi magic or chi spells I've heard thrown around in various media's. If nothing else I'd say given the context it is a form of magic or such a powerful form of natural energy that luthor believes that it could kill superman. But on the flip side of that coin the statement about superman being a solar being is definitely metaphorical, because he himself is the product of kryptonian evolution, he's not a mystical or supernatural being linked to solar energy, he is basically like a plant or sunlight battery, it's a natural biological function for his species.

Question is literally able to see chi energy and while looking at Superman via his 'qi-vision'; Superman is radiating chi energy like a star. He then says Superman stores sun energy within his soul(under this portrayal, his alien energetic nature is why Earth chi can disrupt his powerset).

But Superman doesn't have chi, which literally is life energy. We see that at times when drained of his power, he is drained of his life force which ages him, such as Byrne established and Morrison also showed with Superman One Million draining his Super-Sun energy to punch through the time barrier aging him.

Could you show the confirmation where question can see chi energy?

I thought it was just a random assumption question told to supes.

also i dont think ki would be well affective against superman lol

ah.

Could any of you post showings of Superman having Ki?

I haven't read Chinese Superman arc yet so wouldn't know how it'd be relevant to kryptonian mental power level set

Superman has always been metaphysical. He is a Mytholgical concept (Kal-EL=Michael the Archangel) in sci fi trappings. He's always had meta physical aspects to his powerset derived from mystical teachings-- his entire solar absorption/aura aspect of his powerset is based in Yoga(remember, Jerry Siegel also created the Spectre, and used Dr. Occult to prototype concepts he had already established for Superman, so he's familiar with these concepts). His gravity adaption aspect is based in John Carter, who was derived from Blavatsky's mystical teachings(9th ray etc). He had super-muscle control, shape-shifting his face to go into disguise, super-ventriloquism , E-M abilities, telepathic will-control, etc which were derived from indian fakirs/siddi/stage magician tricks, similar to Doc Savage (real name: CLARK Savage Jr.)and the Shadow(real name: KENT Allard) albeit on a higher scale.

He represents the peak of human evolutionary potential, which is the point of yogic/alchemical/kabbalistic sciences. in the 50's the Wesinger Era used blatant Alchemical symbolism throughout the classic Silver Age canon. Denny O'Neil specifically shows that his powers are in part derived from his qi/energy aura. Elliot Maggin specifically cited Kabbalistic mysticism as a rational for his powerset. In canon, He is literally descended from El who was empowered by Rao likw Moses/Samson.

He does interesting stunts with it but get inevitably slaughtered by Monarch.

Yup, further precedent that Superman hasn't even begun to discover the full extent of his power-set, as was later alluded in nu52 via H'el and Wraith.

Superman may be primarily a strongman, but from nearly the beginning he was never limited to physical powers alone. Sentry's existence, like Plutonians, is simily an extention of concepts Superman established decades ago.
